5、看看我们的展品。 I am glad that you are interested in our products. Actually our brochure shows just a fraction of our machine tools. You may come in and take a look at our exhibits in the show-room, if you please. 6Sure. Your exhibits are very attractive, though the workmanship is not so desirable. If you

Seattle. 好的。贵公司的产品颇有吸引力，当然产品的工艺还是不尽如人意。我是否可以向你询价。这份单子上列出了我感兴趣的机床。我希望您报一下西雅图到岸价的最低报价。 7谢谢您的询价。您单子上所列的机床我们都有。这是我方的美国太平洋沿岸城市到岸价的价目单。我们还可以根据您所想要的数量调整价格。 Thank you for your

7、 inquiry. We can supply you with all the required tools on the list. Heres my C.I.F US Pacific Coastal City price list. We may adjust the prices according to the quantity you want. 8Well, Mr. Chen, your prices are not competitive. My demand is bulk, but of course Ill have to substantially reduce the

8、 quantity of my intended purchase substantially with your offer. 好的，陈先生。您的价格没有竞争力。我的需求量是很大的，当然罗，按您的报盘我只得削减预定的购买量。 9哈德孙先生，我刚才说过，我方的价格可以根据贵方的购买量进行调整。如果使您不安的只是我方的报价，那么您可以先到其他展台去看一看，然后我们还可以再坐下来讨论我方的报价。 As I said earlier, Mr. Hudson, our prices can be adjustable according to your quantity of your require

May I look at your CIF price sheet of auto parts? 2Certainly. Lately we expanded

12、 our scope of business to better serve our Far East Asian customers, Chinese customers in particular. China is such an enormous market that nobody can afford to neglect. My company is willing to establish business relations with all interested Chinese parties. 当然可以。近来我们扩大了业务范围来更好地为远东亚洲客户服务，特别是中国客户。中

13、国是一个没有人愿意忽视巨大的市场。我们公司愿意和所有有兴趣的中国伙伴建立业务关系。 3您这样说我很高兴。我们打算长期从贵公司进口一些汽车零部件，当然这得看贵方的价格是否比他人优惠。坦率地讲，贵方单子上的价格毫无竞争力。我希望知道贵方的最新报价。 Thats very nice to hear. We should like to import auto parts form your company on a regular basis, provided your prices compare favorably with those of others. To be frank with

14、you, your listed prices are indeed among the least competitive. Id like to hear your most recent quotation. 4We have just updated our prices. But of course I dont mean our offer is final. As usual, wed like to quote the most reasonable price to start our business relationship for the future, even at

15、 the cost of a substantial loss on our part. 我方最近作了调价。当然并不是说这是我们的最终报价。按照我们的惯例，为了推动我们将来的业务关系的发展，我们会给我们的新客户一个合理的价格，即使这样做会使我方蒙受相当大的损失，我们也在所不惜。 5但是从我对汽车零部件市场所掌握的信息来看，贵方的报盘没有吸引力。此外我还需要时间来树立对贵公司产品质量的信心。如果您不愿给我方一些合理折扣，我还是打算等一下，先到别处看看再说。 But my knowledge of the auto parts market tells me that your offer is

16、very unattractive. Besides, I need time to build up my confidence in the quality of your stuff. In any case, Id rather wait and hunt around, if you were unable to include any reasonable discount. 6We guarantee the quality of our supplies. And we have free samples for your inspection. As for the disc

17、ount, we can reduce the listed prices by 5%. This is our floor offer and youll have to excuse me, were not prepared for any counter-offer. 我们保证产品质量。并且可以提供免费的样品给你们检验。至于折扣，我们可以将价目单上的开价再减去 5%。这是我方的底盘，对不起，我们不准备接受还盘。 7我很欣赏您的直率。虽然贵方的底价与我方所希望得到的价格仍有距离，我还是愿意签合同。我与您有同感，我现在这样做是着眼于我们将来业务关系的发展。 I appreciate you

18、r frankness. Though there is still a gap between your rock-bottom prices and my expectations, I am willing to sign contracts with you. I like what you said, I am doing this for the development of our future business relations. 8. But Im not sure if you are happy with the terms in the contact.不知道你们对合

19、同的条款满意吗？9.我研究过你们的合同。有几处还不是很明确，需要讲清楚。还有合同的格式问题。我们希望用我公司自己准备、自己打印的合同副本。您看行吗？Ive studied the contract. I think a few places are not clearly spelt out; they need further clarification. And the format of the contract. Wed like to use copies prepared and printed by our own company. Will that be all right

20、with you?10No problem. But everything in the contract should be bilingual, both in English and Chinese.没问题。但是合同中所有的内容都必须用中文和英文两种文字写明。11、是的，从品名、规格、数量、单价、总额、货运，全都以双语写明。还有，我们希望货品在6月底之前发出，我们不能接受货运的耽搁。Yes, the names of the commodities, specifications, quantity, unit prices, the total payment, and the shi

21、pment, all to be written bilingually. By the way, we hope the shipment will be made before the end of June. We cannot accept any delay, you know.12Of course 那还用说。13. 我们付的是到岸价，所以保险费由贵方负担。Its C.I.F., and therefore the insurance premium should be borne by your side.14Certainly. We go by the contract. 那

22、当然啰，我们按合同办事。15.好了，没问题了。Good, no more questions.16Thats wonderful. Lets leave the technical details of the contract to our assistants. Id like to invite you to drink and celebrate the success of your first business transaction. 太好了。让我们把合同文本的技术处理交给我们的助手去办吧。我想请您去喝一杯，庆祝我们第一笔生意的顺利成交。 17不胜感激。我相信我们这次合作仅仅是个

23、开端，今后合作的机会将更多。 Thank you very much. I believe this initial cooperation will lead to many more in the future. Unit 3 课外练习Text for PracticePassage One英汉双向交互译： 1感谢您的询价。这是我方在原价的基础上削减了 3.5%以后的报价单。您一定会感到我们的报价在今天这个需求量上升的市场上最有竞争力。 I appreciate your inquiry. This is our list of quotations with a recent reduc

24、tion on the original prices by 3.5%. Im sure you will find our offer the most competitive one in this rising market of today. 2. To be frank with you，it is really difficult for us to market your products at the price offeredIve been approached by other suppliers with much lower offers，yes，much lower

25、，5一6坦率对您说，这样的报价真的很难让我们的打开销路，我和其他供货商也打过交道，他们的报价要低得多，真的，低得多，低5一63. A：那不可能，我们不可能出那样低的报价，那是荒唐的。Thats impossible. We cannot go as far as that. Thats ridiculous.4. B：What do you have in your mind?那您减多少呢？5. 您把我们的产品同他们的做过比较吗?不是一个档次的产品啊。再说，我们已经调过价了。Have your compared our products with theirs? We are certainl

26、y not in the same class. Besides, we have reduced our prices.6. I agree your offer after this reduction is attractive but excuse my frankness，in any case it is by no means the most competitive one to the best of my knowledgeI did a lot of research lately and Im sure youll agree with me that a growin

27、g number of suppliers in other Southeast Asian countries have joined this marketI foresee a substantial drop in price next year我同意您的看法，贵方削价后的报价有吸引力，但恕我直言，据我所知，这无论如何还算不上是最有竞争力的价格。我最近作了一番调查研究，我发现越来越多的东南亚国家的厂商也加入了这个市场，我想您一定会同意我的看法。我预测明年的价格会大幅度下跌。 3. 对您所说的大幅度降价，我不敢认同。您知道我们的产品是享誉全球的名牌产品，而且我们绝对保证质量。虽然我们的周

28、边国家和地区或许会以较低的价格吸引客户，但是我们保证质量的做法，加上这次大幅度的价格下调，一定会在市场上取胜。实话对您说，我们的老客户，我相信也包括您在内，没有谁转到其他广商那儿去。相反，我们还接到许多新客户的订单。我们的报盘是合情合理的。I am not sure if there will be a substantial price drop. You know our products have established fame in the world and more importantly, we guarantee the quality of our products wha

29、tsoever. Although some new manufacturers from our surrounding countries and regions may attract their customers with lower prices, our quality guarantee policy plus this latest substantial price reduction is sure to prevail. To tell you the truth, none of our old customers, including you I believe,

30、has ever turned to any other suppliers. On the contrary, we have received orders from quite a few new customers. Our offer is indeed well-grounded. 4. Youre a real business negotiator，but if you hang on to the listed quotations，its impossible for us to come to termsI dont think your offer is in line

31、 with the current marketI do hope that youll consider our counter-offerAfter all，weve had a business relationship for almost ten years您真是个商务谈判高手，不过您若坚持原来的报价，那么我们不可能成交。我认为您的报价不符合市场行情。我希望您考虑一下我方的还盘。我们毕竟是做了近 10 年生意的老主顾了。 5好吧！为了庆祝我们 10年来在生意上的合作，也为了继续推进我们的商务关系，我乐意给您破例追加 1.5%的特别折扣。这已远远低于我方的最低价了，所以我再也不能接受还

32、价了。我希望您理解我的处境，我可不想丢了自己的饭碗啊！ All right, Im willing to grant you a special reduction of an additional 1.5% discount in honor of our ten years business cooperation and to promote our business relation into the future. This is far below my floor offer and therefore, Im not prepared for any counter-bid. I hope you understand my situation. I dont want to lose my job, you know. 6I really appreciate your concession, and Id like to sign
